Remind Agent

[flohfeld]

I'm as user and Customer want a remind agend to set alarms in Rocket chat. You can send yourself or other members a reminder for anything: important meetings, to-do items, even motivational messages! In the message input box, i want type the /remind slash command and you’ll see a template of how i format my reminder: in exampel: /remind [@someone or #channel] [what] @@[when]

Here are some examples:

• To remind yourself /remind me Drink water Everyday at 11am
• To remind a member /remind @lima Submit report May 30 #5pm
• To remind a channel /remind #design Join the meeting Monday
• To remind channel for Daily Meeting /remind #allgemein "Join the Daily https://webex.com" on every weekday at 9 am CET

I like the idea - like others as well ;) https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/659 https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/issues/7946

I guess we'll tackle that, once the Rocketlets are available

Or maybe we can check if there is a hubot out there...

Can this be a right click menu action without writing any text? This is very useful in Slack and saves a lot of time.

This would be really useful. bump?

Are there any updates?

[mrsimpson]

@tuxmartin we’ve been pushing forward the capabilities of the Rocket.Chat Apps Framework for that. The extensions are quite huge (you need a natural language scheduler) - and in fact the last impediment was to find something reusable supporting multiple languages (particularly German). After some extensive research, we decided to find a UI-based solution and are extending the framework in this direction

@tuxmartin unfortunately not. We've been investigating a lot with respect to natural language time occurrence parsing, but found no German solution. This is however vital to the solution and hard to build ourselves with a high quality. Therefore, we left this aside. I might check the libs current status, some time has passed since then... Feel free to keep it open and - well - remind us.

@mrsimpson and what about https://github.com/RocketChat/feature-requests/issues/14?

42 people are interested in that.

It would be better than the command /remind.

With https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/19290, apps will finally be able to schedule events. This will enable a reminder-app - and I'm very sure the contributor of the scheduler apps api has got this in mind.
